I love e-scooters. The simple problem with them is that too many people don't ride them on the road and instead act unpredictably on the pavement. If people drove cars on the pavement whenever they felt like it was a shortcut it would be absolute madness. IME, cyclists _occasionally_ detour onto the pavement in order to get around an obstruction e.g. pass some slow moving cars at a bottleneck. Almost always they cycle reasonably slowly and give a ton of space to others. Where I am, invariably there's some sort of hood rat flying up and down the pavement at max speed the whole length of their journey not giving a toss about the people around them. I see this more often than I see people actually using the things responsibly in the road. Some people just have, well, really bad manners, and if there's enough of them then we can't have nice things.
